The Meadows, Nottingham history

---

Historic photographs show the area to be a vibrant community with many fine buildings and good townscape. In 1901, Victoria Embankment, a 1¼ mile long Victorian flood defence engineering works with a promenade and carriage-way opened. In 1906 the Arts & Crafts style Cricket Pavilion was officially opened along with several new football pitches with the Police Band in attendance. In 1920, Jesse Boot purchased the remainder of the land within the Embankments adjacent to the Trent and then bequeathed it to the citizens of Nottingham in perpetuity for recreational use and memorial.

The ‘New Meadows’ 1970s redevelopment

In the 1970s, housing in the Meadows was deemed unsuitable by the council and a large part of the area was demolished to make way for a new development of modern council housing. The new development was based on the Radburn model of planning which consisted of segregating traffic and pedestrians by constructing cul-de-sacs, feeder roads and underpasses. In 1975, the viaduct carrying the Great Central railway and Arkwright Street station was demolished as the new development started to take shape.

Meadows neighbourhood plan and post 2009 reconstruction

In 2009 Nottingham City Council commissioned consultants Taylor Young to examine the problems facing the Meadows, as a precursor to putting in a bid for Round 6 Housing PFI funding. Taylor Young identified major issues and set up the Community Transformation Working Group to work with residents. The £200 million PFI grant to redevelop the New Meadows was promptly withdrawn by the incoming Cameron coalition government.
